Campus tour request form

A tour request form collects interest and availability, not a confirmed tour slot. Staff confirm the actual slot later by calendar. This form asks when a visitor can come, how many guests they're bringing, and which campus buildings they want to see, so the tour coordinator knows what to schedule.

The form beside this text is live. Fill it in and submit it — it validates exactly as it would for a real respondent, and saves nothing.

Checkbox group for interests, not a single selection

A prospective student wants to see dorms and the engineering building both, so they check two options. A radio would force them to pick one, hiding the second interest from the coordinator.

Guest count as a number field, not free text

A number field validates upfront, so "2" or "3 people" never arrives as text. The coordinator sees actual counts to plan group sizes and transportation without having to parse every row.

No card required.

How to build this form

5 steps in the editor. Nothing here needs a paid plan.

  1. Add short text and email fields for the visitor's name and contact details.
  2. Add a phone field so the tour coordinator can confirm by phone if email bounces.
  3. Add a date field for the preferred tour date and a number field for the count of guests (including the visitor).
  4. Add a checkbox group for areas of interest: dorms, athletics, specific major, student center. Visitors may check multiple.
  5. In Settings, export to CSV when you have enough requests to plan a day of tours, then the coordinator reaches out to confirm the actual time and any special needs.

What goes wrong with this form

Specific to a campus tour request form, not general advice about forms.

Treating a request as a confirmation

A submitted tour request is not a confirmed slot. The coordinator still has to check the calendar, confirm the date is available, and reach out to the visitor to nail down a time. Assuming the requested date is booked is what causes conflicts later.

Guest count as free text

Use a number field so the coordinator sees "2" or "4", not "my parents" or "a few people". Actual counts help with group sizing and logistics.

Preferred date left optional

Make the date required so the coordinator sees what the visitor actually wants instead of chasing them to ask. An office taking tour requests without knowing when people want to visit is planning blind.

Questions about this form

What is the difference between a tour request and a confirmed tour?

A request is what a visitor submits on this form — their preferred date and interests. A confirmed tour is what the admissions office schedules afterward, by phone or email, once they've checked the calendar. The form collects the request; staff do the confirming.

Can a visitor request a specific time or just a date?

This form asks for a date, not a time. A time is scheduled later between the visitor and the tour coordinator once the office confirms the date is available. Asking for a time here would create no-show mismatches if the office had to reschedule.

Can visitors bring guests on a campus tour?

Yes. The form asks for a guest count including the main visitor, so the coordinator knows how large a group to expect. That helps with tour logistics and how many student guides are needed.
